Basically I've been working as a courier for the last couple of years and am far too bored of it so decided the natural career progression was to start a little urban mushroom farm with my partner. Have spent the last year or so teaching ourselves aseptic lab work and building everything required to start producing some decent quantities of various mushroom species.
We've been cloning as many different native gourmet species as possible to try and mostly grow local strains. We have a few different oyster species and could grow some extra spawn if people are keen on giving this a go :)

The best time to harvest is just before the caps fully unfurl, after that point the flavour starts to degrade and the extra gains in weight is just extra water. That mini grow looks wicked!
Shameless plug but I have a mini mushroom lab at home and so if anyone is keen on some forum-produced mushroom spawn I'm happy to help out!
